Legionella are small rod shaped bacteria which are a natural constituent of all fresh waters. Legionaries' disease is a pneumonia infection caused by inhaling of Legionella species. Long periods of water stagnation should be avoided; it means the water heater should be used or flushed at least weekly.
The European standard CEN/TR 16355 gives recommendations for good practice concerning the prevention of Legionella growth in drinking water installations but existing national regulations remain in force.
This electronic storage water heater is sold with a thermal disinfection cycle function enabled by default. Every time the product is switched on and every 30 days, the thermal disinfection cycle runs to heat the water heater up to 60°C.
when this software has been carrying out the thermal disinfection treatment, water temperature can cause burns. Feel water before bathing or showering.
For the technical specifications, refer to the nameplate (the nameplate is located next to the water intake/outlet pipes).

This appliance is conforming with the international electrical safety standards IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60335-2-21. The CE marking of the appliances attests its conformity to the following EC Directives, of which it satisfies the essential requisites:
This product is in conformity with REACH regulations.
These regulations and byelaws ensure a good supply of wholesome water, and that only approved materials, pipes and fittings are used to convey water.
These are a statutory document and take priority over all other regulations and recommendations. The installation of an unvented hot water system of over 15 litres is classified as a "Controlled Service" and Regulation G3 applies. To meet the requirements of the regulation, installation of an unvented system should be undertaken by a "competent installer".
All installations of unvented hot water storage systems having a capacity of more than 15 litres should be notified to the relevant Local Authority by means of building notice or by the submission of full plans. It is important to note that it is a criminal offence to install an unvented hot water storage system over 15 litres without notifying the Local Authority.
The products are supplied with the following:
Unvented water heater (with factory-fitted T&P) x1
Pressure relief valve set at 6 bar x1
Dielectric junctions x2
Tundish x1
Expansion Vessel x1
Check Valve x1
Pressure reducing Valve x1
Dielectric junctions must be fitted to all models as they prevent an electrolytic reaction and safeguard against potential aggressive corrosion.
If the supplied Dieletric Junctions are not fitted this could void the warranty.
Before installing the heater read these instructions in full. If you are unsure please contact our technical service department (03332407777).
The installation must comply with all relevant Water Regulations/Byelaws and Building Regulations.
The installer should check with the local water authority for confirmation of the maximum water supply pressure.
The appliance should be left packed until it is ready to be installed. When unpacking take care not to damage the temperature and pressure relief valve on the top of the heater.
A drain has to be provided for any water discharged through the safety valves.
A cold water supply pressure between 1 and 3.5 bar is required (if the mains pressure is above 3.5 bar a pressure reducing valve must be installed). Please note that turning down the stop-cock will reduce flow not pressure.
The outlet pressure from the reducing valve (if supplied) is 3.5 bar.
A 240 VAC; 3 kW single phase electrical supply is required.
This product is a device that must be installed vertically in order to operate correctly. Once installation is complete, and before any water is added or the power supply is connected, use a measuring instrument (i.e. a spirit level) to check that the device has been installed perfectly vertical. The appliance heats water to a temperature below boiling point. It must be linked up to a mains water supply according to the appliance performance levels and capacity. Before connecting the appliance, it is first necessary to:
This appliance was designed to be installed only inside buildings in compliance with the applicable norms in force. Furthermore, installers are requested to keep to the following advice in the presence of:
In the case of walls made of bricks or perforated blocks, partition walls featuring limited static, or masonry different in some way from those stated, you first need to carry out a preliminary static check of the supporting system.
The wall-mounting fastening hooks must be designed to support a weight that is three times higher than the weight of the water heater filled with water.
Fastening hooks with a diameter of at least 12 mm are recommended.
To facilitate maintenance, make sure there is a clearance of at least 50 cm inside the enclosure for access to the electrical equipment.
Note: If a valve i.e. a non return valve, water meter, pressure reducing valve or any type of valve or fitting that acts as a non return valve is installed on the cold water mains, this will prevent expansion. Therefore it will be necessary to install an expansion vessel (see figure below).
Note: If in doubt always install a pressure reducing valve (limited to 3.5bar) and expansion vessel.
The outlet from temperature and pressure relief valve/pressure relief valve must not be for any other purpose. Take great care not to allow any swarf into the pipe work or fittings, as this might impair the operation of the safety valve(s).
The water connection may be carried out as per the following:
Do not fit any stop cocks or isolating valves within the distance required for expansion. If a pressure reducing valve is needed, due to a mains pressure of over 3.5 bar, an expansion control kit must be fitted regardless of expansion pipework installed. The expansion distances quoted are for 15mm pipes and can be approximately halved for 22mm pipes.
The appliance must not be supplied with water of hardness less than 12°F, not with especially hard water (greater than 25°F); we recommend installing a water softener, properly calibrated and controlled - do not allow the residual hardness to fall below 15°F.
The appliance is covered under the Building Regulations and therefore it is not possible to accommodate the expansion water within the system pipe work and consequently a set of expansion controls must be installed.
Note: The discharge from relief valves must be made in a safe and conspicuous manner.
Please note that in all cases the dielectric junctions must be connected to the heater before any other connection is made (these prevent an electrolytic reaction).
If the supplied Dieletric Junctions are not fitted this could void the warranty.
Only the use of copper pipe is recommended for connection to the heater. If any other material is used it must be able to withstand 90°C at 7 bar pressure for long periods.
No valve must be fitted between the expansion/pressure relief valve and the water heater.
All other required safety components to install the appliance are supplied as a kit with the appliance: 15mm pressure reducing valve set at 3.5bar. Expansion vessel (charge pressure set at 3.5bar)"
The following guidelines refer to Building Regulation G3. It is good practice to follow these guidelines for all relief valve discharge pipe work.
Table 2
Sizing of copper discharge pipe "D2" for common temperature valve outlets.
Valve outlet size | Minimum size of discharge pipe D1* | Minimum size of discharge pipe D2* from tundish | Maximum resistance allowed, expressed as a length of pipe (i.e. no elbow or bends) | Resistance created by each elbow or bend |
G 1/2 | 15 mm | 22 mm 28 mm 35 mm | Up to 9 m Up to 18 m Up to 27 m | 0.8 m 1.0 m 1.4 m |
G 3/4 | 22 mm | 28 mm 35 mm 42 mm | Up to 9 m Up to 18 m Up to 27 m | 1.0 m 1.4 m 1.7 m |
G 1 | 28 mm | 35 mm 42 mm 54 mm | Up to 9 m Up to 18 m Up to 27 m | 1.4 m 1.7 m 2.3 m |
The example below is for a G 1/2" temperature & pressure relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 no. elbows and length of 7 m from the tundish to the point of discharge.
From Table 2
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22 mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from G 1/2" T & P valve is 9 m. Subtract the resistance for 4 no. 22 mm elbows at 0.8 m each = 3.2 m. Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 5.8 m.
As 5.8 m is less than the actual length of 7 m therefore calculate the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28 mm pipe (D2) from G 1/2" T & P valve equates to: 18 m. Subtract the resistance for 4 no. 28 mm elbow at 1.0 m each = 4 m. Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 14 m
As the actual length is 7 m, a 28 mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.
The appliance must be drained if left inactive in a room subject to frost and/or in the event of prolonged inactivity.
Typical drain arrangement and system designs will vary:
The appliance must be earthed
The electrical installation must be in line with the current I.E.E. wiring regulations. A mains supply of 240 VAC 3 kW (13 amps) is required (Fig. 2)
Heat resisting cable, round 3 core 1.5 mm (to BS 6141 table 8) should be used to connect to the electrical supply through either:
Flexible cables are colour coded as follows:
Brown - live
Blue - neutral
Green and yellow - earth
To enter into the terminal compartment unscrew the 2 screws on the cover.
(To access the screws, remove the decorative caps on the front control access panel).
It is mandatory, before installing the appliance, to perform an accurate control of the electrical system by verifying compliance with current safety standards, which is adequate for the maximum power absorbed by the water heater (refer to the data plate) and that the section of the cables for the electrical connection is suitable and complies with local regulations. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by lack of grounding or anomalous power supply. Before starting up the appliance, check that the power rating matches that given on the nameplate.
The use of multiplugs, extensions or adaptors is strictly prohibited.
It is strictly forbidden to use the piping from the plumbing, heating and gas systems for the appliance earthing connection. If the appliance is supplied with a power supply cable, should the latter need replacing, use a cable featuring the same characteristics. The power cord must be routed into the hole in the back of the appliance and connected to the thermostat terminals (M Fig. 4).
The appliance must be grounded with a cable (yellow/green and longer than the phase cable) connected to the terminals marked (G Fig. 4).
Before calling your Technical Servicing Centre, check that the fault is not due to lack of water or power failure.
disconnect the appliance from the mains before conducting any maintenance work.
Remove the enclosure to access the electrical equipment.
To work on the electronic thermostat (Ref. T), disconnect the power supply cable (Ref. C) and the control panel wire (Ref. Y). Next, remove it from its slot, taking care not to bend the sensor support rod too much.
To work on the control panel (Ref. W), disconnect the wire (Ref. Y) and loosen the screws.
During reassembly, make sure that all components are put back in their original positions.
In order to work on the heating element and the anode, the appliance must first be emptied.
Undo the 5 bolts (C fig. 5) and remove the flange (F fig. 5). The heating element and anode are attached to the flange. During reassembly, make sure that the flange gasket, the thermostat and the heating element are put back in their original positions (Fig. 5).
We recommend replacing the flange gasket (Z Fig. 6) every time it is disassembled.
Use only original parts from authorised service centres authorised by the manufacturer.
The heating element (R fig. 6) should be descaled every two years (the frequency must be increased, if water is very hard) to ensure it works properly. If you do not wish to use a liquid descaler (in this case please read the safety data sheets of descaling), you can simply break off the deposit, taking care not to damage the heating element's cladding. The magnesium anode (N fig. 6) must be replaced every two years, otherwise the decay of the warranty. In the presence of aggressive or waters rich in chloride it is recommended to check the status of the anode annually.
To remove this, disassemble the heating element and unscrew from the support bracket.
Check controls (where fitted) as per the following:
When one of the malfunctions described above occurs, the appliance will enter its "fault status" and all LEDs on the control panel will flash simultaneously.
Reset: to reset the appliance, switch the product off and on again using the button (Ref. A). If the cause of the malfunction disappears immediately following the reset process, the appliance will resume normal operation. If this is not the case, all the LEDs will continue to flash; contact the Technical Assistance Centre.
Diagnostics: to enable the diagnostic function, hold the button (Ref. A) for 5 seconds. The type of fault is indicated by five LEDs (Ref. 1 >5) according to the following scheme:
LED Ref. 1 – Internal P.C.B. malfunction;
LED Ref. 2 – Anode malfunction (in models fitted with active anode);
LED Ref. 3 – NTC 1/NTC 2 temperature sensors broken (open or short-circuited);
LED Ref. 5 – Water overheating detected by an individual sensor;
LEDs Ref. 4 and 5 – General overheating (P.C.B. malfunction);
LEDs Ref. 3, 4 and 5 – Operation without water.
Exit the diagnostic function by pressing the button (Ref. A) or wait for 25 seconds.
The anti-legionella function is activated by default. It consists of a heating/maintenance cycle of the water at 60°C for 1h so as to carry out thermal disinfection action against the relevant bacteria.
The cycle starts at the first ignition of the product and after each re-ignition which follows a lack of mains power. If the product always work at a temperature below 55°C, the cycle is repeated after 30 days. When the product is off, the anti- legionella function is not active. If the appliance is switched off during the anti-legionella cycle, the product turns off and the function is not completed. At the end of each cycle, the operating temperature returns to the value set previously by the user. The activation of the "anti-legionella cycle" is displayed as a normal temperature setting at 60°C. (Led Ref. 4). To permanently disable the anti-legionella function simultaneously hold down the "ECO" and "+" buttons for 3 sec.; confirming deactivation the led 40° will C flash rapidly for 4 sec. To reactivate the anti-legionella function, repeat the operation described above; to confirm the reactivation of the led (Ref. 4) will flash rapidly for 4 sec.
Press the button (Ref. A) to switch on the appliance. Set the desired temperature by using the "+" and "-" buttons to select a level between 40°C and 65°C. During the heating phase, the LEDs (Ref. 1> 5) corresponding to the temperature reached by the water so far remain lit in a fixed manner; all subsequent LEDs (up to the set temperature) flash progressively. If the temperature drops, for example after hot water has been used, the heating is reactivated automatically and the LEDs between the last fixed light and the light corresponding to the set temperature will resume flashing progressively. The first time the product is switched on, it will be set to a temperature of 60°C (Led Ref. 4).
In the event of a power failure or if the product is switched off using the button (Ref. A), the most recently set temperature remains memorised. During the heating phase, a slight noise may be produced as a result of the water heating process.
The LED remains ON during heating.
The Eco function is activated/deactivated by pressing the corresponding button. If the function is activated the led will be switched on. The Eco function aims to produce hot water by learning the user habits. So, for the first week ever the product memorises the tappings and the periods in which those tappings take place. From the following weeks the water heating is performed regarding what was learned previously. If the user wants to reset the function and start a new learning period, it is necessary to press the ECO button for 3 seconds (the eco led will appear blinking). If during Eco function, PLUS or MINUS button are pressed the function will be deactivated.
The Shower Ready LED (B, Fig. 3) indicates whether there is hot water for at least one shower. The quantity of hot water is determined by internal parameters and varies according to the model.
The Max function (C, Fig. 3) is activated/deactivated by pressing the corresponding button. If the function is active, the LED will be lit. The Max function temporarily sets the set-point temperature to 65°C by bypassing the previous operating mode (if the Eco function is active, the self-learning function is temporarily interrupted and deactivates on its own once the set-point is reached).
The Max function is deactivated even if there is a stall error, if the "OFF" status is engaged or if the +/– buttons are pressed to change the set-point.
By pressing the PLUS or MINUS buttons, the user can choose the set-point temperature (indicated by the temperature LEDs, with the other LEDs off ). Each press of the button increases or decreases the set temperature by 10 degrees. After 5 seconds without any action, the set-point will be confirmed and memorised.
There are two possible stall statuses:
Before any operation of cleaning the device make sure to turn off the product by bringing the external switch to the OFF position. Do not use insecticides, solvents or aggressive detergents that may damage the painted parts or plastic material.
If the water delivery is cold, have the following checked:
If there is presence of steam output from the taps:
Remove power from the electrical appliance and contact technical support.
If the hot water delivery is insufficient, have the following checked:
IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF - ALWAYS HAVE THIS DONE BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
